Joel Wilson TE | TEN
Titans' Joel Wilson: Signs future deal with Titans
The Titans signed Wilson (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Wilson was unable to make Chicago's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He got another opportunity with Tennessee in mid-September as a member of the team's practice squad but landed on the Titans' practice squad/injured list in early December due to an undisclosed issue. Wilson has yet to appear in a regular-season game since entering the league in May 2023 as an undrafted free agent, but he'll participate in offseason activities with the Titans and look to build some momentum heading into training camp in July.

The Titans signed Watson (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Watson signed with the Titans' practice squad in late September after being let go by the Broncos with an injury settlement in late August due to a knee injury. He was placed on Tennessee's practice-squad injured list in early October due to an undisclosed issue and was not elevated to the active roster during the 2025 campaign. Watson will stick around in Tennessee and participate in offseason activities with an eye toward making the 53-man roster for the 2026 season.

Titans' Hal Presley: Signs future deal with Tennessee
The Titans signed Presley to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Presley caught on with the Titans' practice squad in late October after being cut by the Chiefs in mid-September.

Xavier Restrepo WR | TEN
Titans' Xavier Restrepo: Staying in Tennessee
Restrepo signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Restrepo was not selected by a team during the 2025 NFL Draft, but he opted to follow University of Miami teammate and No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward to the Titans. Restrepo stuck around on the practice squad after failing to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp and was elevated to the active roster for Weeks 12 and 13. He caught three passes (on seven targets) for 41 yards over that two-game span and demonstrated that collegiate chemistry with Ward, but Restrepo was carted off the field during the Titans' Week 13 loss to the Jaguars due to an ankle injury. Now healthy, Restrepo will have a whole offseason to develop his skill set and figures to be a long-shot candidate to make the Titans' 53-man roster for the 2026 season.

Falcons' Carlos Washington: Signs future deal with Atlanta
The Falcons signed Washington to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Washington will stick around Atlanta after spending the entirety of the season with the team's practice squad, earning one elevation to the active roster in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The running back played 10 snaps on special teams in the contest, failing to record any stats. With Tyler Allgeier set to become a free agent in the offseason, Washington could compete for the top reserve role behind Bijan Robinson in 2026.

The Falcons signed Blair to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Blair spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign as a member of the practice squad with Atlanta, appearing in three contests in December. The wide receiver played 12 snaps on offense in those games, failing to record any stats. Blair will now get an opportunity to train with the Falcons during the offseason, and he'll look to impress in order to attempt to get a shot with the active roster in 2026.

Phillip Dorsett WR | LV
Raiders' Phillip Dorsett: Inks future deal with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Dorsett to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Dorsett signed to the Raiders' practice squad in early September after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. His lone elevation to the active roster came in Week 17 against the Giants, but he ended up being a healthy scratch for that contest. The veteran wide receiver has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2023, but he'll participate in offseason activities with the Raiders in the hopes of earning a spot on the active roster for 2026.

Albert Okwuegbunam TE | LV
Raiders' Albert Okwuegbunam: Secures future deal with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Okwuegbunam to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Okwuegbunam spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign with Las Vegas as a member of the practice squad, garnering a pair of elevations in Week 4 and Week 5. The tight end reeled in five of six targets for 36 yards in the team's Week 5 loss to the Colts, and he didn't get another shot with the active roster the rest of the way. With Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer still under contract in 2026, Okwuegbunam will compete for the No. 3 role at tight end ahead of next season.

Raiders' Chris Collier: Staying with Raiders
The Raiders signed Collier to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Collier spent the entire 2025 season on the Raiders' practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. His lone elevation to the Raiders' active roster came in Week 17 against the Giants, though he didn't end up playing a single snap in a 34-10 loss. Collier will stay in Las Vegas in the offseason, where he'll look to show enough to the organization in OTAs, minicamp and training camp to earn a spot on the active roster for the 2026 season.

Justin Shorter TE | LV
Raiders' Justin Shorter: Inks future deal with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Shorter to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Shorter spent the first seven weeks of the season with the Raiders' active roster, failing to record any stats over five offensive snaps while also logging 81 snaps on special teams. The wide receiver was then subsequently waived and re-signed to the practice squad after Las Vegas added veteran Tyler Lockett in late October. Shorter will now have the opportunity to train with the Raiders during the offseason and potentially earn another shot with the active roster in 2026.
